Zealous Zeus

I am the father of gods, the Olympian family and of mortals The protector of the sky, soil and sea; heights and human race Lord and lover of eagles and oak tree; aegis my mighty metals A just judge, with a merciful mind with a firm, friendly face. The youngest yet, the sweetest son of Cronus and Rhae…tall Titans; The brother of Poseidon, Hades, Hesta, Hera and Demeter… deities, For freedom, I fought my father and his followers…terrible Titans, And set my siblings free from the cage of Cronus who dodged duties. The protector of the weak, the punisher of the wicked and mercy-mania; Winning all wars but one… I am the husband of Hera, my sweet sister, Father of gods and goddesses: Ares, Hebe, Hephaestus and Eileithyia, Lived a loosed life with women, fell for so many flowers…a trickster. I am the Zealous Zeus, god of rain, gatherer of the cloud and thunder, I an the zealous Zeus, the father of charming and cheerful children, I am the zealous zeus, the husband of the immortal and mortal mothers, I am the zealous zeus, the mentor of all mighty, merciful and mild men.
